Tired, Pained, but Happy --- Oh, Something Dirty

As I said in the last post "About To Run" , I had a Back-to-Back Band Competition day. I'm still recovering from that. I have a knee problem called Patellar Tendonitis, which is a weakness of the tedon connecting the knee cap to the shin bone. I thought that the two comps would tear my knee apart, and I was halfway right. Although I didn't realize how tired my knees and ankles were until I went to bed at 10:30 pm that night. Today at school I had compressed my left knee (the one with patellar tendonitis) with a compression wrap and my right knee had a simple Ace Brand knee brace.

I was happy to go home after the competitions and be greeted by my fuzz ball of a kitten Nahla. I felt simple relief when she laid down on top of my back, I knew I was home and I could rest.

This morning, I went into the band room for my 3rd period general music class and fixed any of the cheap metal hangers on the uniform racks. My band director came up to me and told me that today's practice was cancelled and I was relieved. As musch as I love Band Practice, I just didn't feel like practicing today.

"I had to motivate myself to get out of bed this morning" - My Band Director.

Oh, something dirty... Well, have you heard of the show on A&E called Hoarders?

Well, everytime I watch I go and clean something, makes me know theres nothing dirty... so, maybe my life won't turn into a situation that has been portrayed so many times before on the show...

I'm still tired and worn from Band... maybe I'll be more motivated to blog about it later in the week...
